The case reported here showed a radiological appearance of hypoplasia of the right lung, dextroposition of the heart, and a curved vascular shadow in the right lower lung field known as a scimitar sign. However, a computed tomography of the chest showed this abnormal vascular shadow draining into the left atrium (pseudo-scimitar sign). Therefore, in patients with a radiological appearance of the scimitar syndrome, computed tomography of the chest should be indicated to rule out the pseudoscimitar sign.
